CDC leaked COVID powerpoint
Aug. 2nd, 2021 11:06 amTakeaways as I understand them
with Delta variant (vs previous variants)
- people infectious longer
- higher viral load
- slightly more dangerous but much more transmissible
- vaccinated have same viral load as unvaccinated
- vaccinated more likely to get COVID (but disease not as severe in vaccinated)
any variant
- vaccinated much less likely to be hospitalized or die
- vaccinated less likely to get ill than unvaccinated
